ICS LEAK for i717 COMING TOMORROW!! Confirmed via Twitter. (Rootzwiki & Design Gears) - xda-developers

Ice Cream Sandwich leaks for Samsung Galaxy Note (update) -- Engadget

I'm downloading a rom for it over at XDA as I type. This is what I've been waiting for.

Anyone know if the ICS Touchwiz version has Google's new People app included? I see from the screen shots there's still the 'Contacts', but I was looking forward to an upgrade to ICS to include the new People. Either way, I'm downloading the files as we speak

I downloaded thanks to Jerry's front page story here and running for 30 mins and I will say without hesitation if you like the Note (and there's a lot to like) wait until you get ICS on the Note. Any hint of hesitation seems gone, screen seems crisper. Might be placebo effect the guys spoke of in last weeks Podcast but everything just seems as it works better. As I set up the wifi I noticed in "wireless and networks" it allows you to turn NFC on - not that I have any way of checking if it actually does so...

More after I play with this some more but 30 mins in - I scream for Ice Cream!

It runs really nice. This is my third Rom in a week. I think I may take a break from installing another one. I got everything set up the way I want for now.

Hey guys, I just got my Note last night, so I am just now beginning to play around with it. What is the best method for rooting this phone. I have experience rooting, as I have used the XDA forums with my previous Evo phone. Also, what is this about a Flash counter? I understand if you install the new ICS leak without a rooted version, the flash counter goes up one? Does that void the warranty? I would like to keep my warranty valid within my 30 day trial period if possible. At least if I root and then install an ICS rom, I can always go back to stock un-rooted form.

I agree with randall2580, loving ICS on my Note now--runs alot more smoothly/quickly. Am disappointed that Touchwiz retains the 'Contacts' app instead of the Google People app though Will report back more after I get to spend some more time with it, but so far, so good.

UGH THERES NO PEOPLE AND TOUCHWIZ DOESNT HAVE VANILLA ICS? F this as soon as I get my Note replacement i'm rooting and getting Vanilla

I've had my note for more than a month. ICS is amazing on this thing. ..no more lag on open tabs in the browser. Chrome is awesome. The s pen seems to have corrected its crappy offset. The battery thus far seems a little better. My quadrant score jumped to 3300.(which doesn't matter). No more lag on the unlock screen. Im finally happy with a phone. I totally recommend this Rom.

ill wait for the official drop.. hopefully its soon

I'm doing the same

one day later and I am still loving this drop of ICS on the Note, I still believe it makes a great phone even better. Have run into a few little gripes, the check boxes for the email don't seem big enough for my big fingers, voice talk doesn't open when I turn on my bluetooth as it did on Gingerbread, those are the 2 small problems I have noted so far. There are 2 apps I like (Screen Slider and HBO Go) that don't work with ICS (yet I hope). I still feel the OS maximizes things for the HD screen better than Gingerbread did. There is definitely less lag in transitions. Gmail and Email contrasts are a bit better and makes the mail easier to read. Some things better thought out - there is always a trash pail on top of the mail, saves a step - there are other things like this I have noted along the way.

I understand that this is an "unofficial" drop and that the final should be even better. I can't wait as I think this drop is really excellent.

I'm really loving ICS on the note. It really runs smooth with Nova launcher.

 

[thassinger42]

Just flashed ics today, very smooth and no problems..Go launcher works well

If you want the true taste of ICS, run the APEX launcher vs. using TW.

Stock is for the birds! Get the counter reset package and don't look back!

Someone try to copy text from an email in Gmail, mine hangs sometimes and also BeWeather has issues updating mainly if WFi is enabled and connected.
